Democrats side with Ahmadinejad, Warn Bush Not to Attack Iran

Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid said that Bush does not have the authority to attack Iran


"The president does not have the authority to launch military action in Iran without first seeking congressional authorization," Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told the National Press Club.

Um, Harry. yes he does. The War Powers Act of 1973 says:

The President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situation where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and after every such introduction shall consult regularly with the Congress until United States Armed Forces are no longer engaged in hostilities or have been removed from such situations.

It says consult. It doesn't say he needs authorization. The moonbat left are always trying to rewrite the laws, just like they like to rewrite history, to suit their purpose.

Just because someone is against a military attack against Iran doesn't mean that the person is "siding with Ahmadinejad." Most people here and throughout the world are against both Bush and Ahmadinejad.

Oh really hom? If most people here in the USA are against Bush, then why did he kick Kerry's ass?
